COUNTY NEWS: Shoreham Airshow crash final report due to be published

A final report into the Shoreham Airshow crash is due to be published on Friday, March 3.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch is set to publish the findings of its investigation that day at noon.

A pre-inquest review into the deaths of the 11 men, which had been due to take place on Friday, March 17, has been postponed.

Penelope Schofield, the West Sussex senior coroner, said she had reluctantly taken this step due to the close timing of the release of the final report and the fact that the police investigation was still ongoing.

A new date for the pre-inquest review will be set in due course, she added.

Eleven men lost their lives when a vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed during a display at the airshow on Saturday, August 22, 2015.
